Are you one of those people that has icq, msn messenger, aol messenger running at the same time. I used to be, until I found Trillian. A freeware replacement for all those messenger applications that connects to all networks. I really love it.

Tried it .. got rid of it .. ood functions arent there
ICQ: chat, SMS
M$N: voice, blocking users selectively
Yahoo: same as above

Whats worse is .. what u lose in systray icons, you gain in taskbar buttons for each IM started, unless I didnt play around with it enough.

Thanx for the URL though, will keep an eye on it for future versions.

It takes some time to get used to, but It serves me well. I hardly ever use anything else than messages anyway.
You can still block users in the msn thing.

But, feel free to use whatever serves you best.
